Naomi Tattum

Sometimes we aren't always able to carry the weight of our experiences on our own. Perhaps you feel like you’re never good enough no matter what you do, are having thoughts that you can’t seem to control, or just not sure who 'you' are anymore.

I am here for whatever it is you are struggling with. My role is to be alongside you to find a way through difficult experiences and towards a place of more self-acceptance, self-trust and maybe feeling more in control of your life.

For over 10 years, I have worked in the third sector with individuals navigating difficult life circumstances. Much of my experience has been supporting people who have experienced childhood trauma, abuse (including adult and childhood sexual abuse), domestic violence, loss and bereavement, as well as related experiences such as anxiety, depression and chronic illness.

I work within an anti-oppressive framework and endeavour to create a space where all parts of you are welcome.

I know that deciding to come to counselling can be difficult, and it can also be hard to know what to expect. You will always be at the centre of the work we do together.

Even if you feel I have not listed what you are currently experiencing, please feel free to get in touch. We can talk about what is happening for you and whether I may be able to support you.

Qualifications:

• Postgrad Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, Persona Training & Development

• Certificate in Counselling Skills, The Spark

• Introduction to Sand Tray Therapy

• ASSIST (Suicide Prevention Training)

• Safe to Say Training (Supporting Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse)

I am available to work online, in person and via telephone. I work with clients online from my own home, and in-person in a therapeutic space in Rutherglen.

I offer short-term and long-term counselling.

I offer a free 15-minute chat, either online, by phone or in person, so that we can get to know each other a little and you can ask any questions you may have. Feel free to contact me by email naomitattum1@gmail.com or text/call me on 07731 767293 to book in a time.

My rate is usually £60 for 1 hour, but I also offer reduced rates, so please don't hesitate to get in touch to ask more.

Please get in touch to chat more about what our first session would be like.
